Is >there a way to use ^P for Previous? Please don't suggest binding... I've found this problem too. Some bit of DOS (probably deep down in the BIOS) intercepts ^S, ^P & ^N which is a bit of a pain for us Emacs/tcsh addicts who keep turning the printer echo on when we hit ^P or ^N. Has anybody found a fix for this? It can't be completely impossible since the MKS Toolkit Korn Shell doesn't have this problem. >I do have the source, but don't have MSC. Anyone know if it works with TC? No. I think it would be fairly non-trivial to make it compile under Turbo C. _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."
